The following essay is adapted from the author’s new book, Pagan America: The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come.
It’s hard to survey the state of our country and not conclude that something is very wrong in America. I don’t just mean with our economy or the border or rampant crime in our cities, but with our basic grasp on reality itself.
Our cultural and political elite now insist that men can become women, and vice versa, and that even children can consent to what they euphemistically call “gender-affirming care.” In a perfect inversion of reason and common sense, some Democratic lawmakers now want laws on the books forcing parents to affirm their child’s “gender identity” on the pain of having the child taken from them by the state for abuse.
Abortion, which was once reluctantly defended only on the basis that it should be “safe, legal, and rare,” is now championed as a positive good, even at later stages of pregnancy. Abortion advocates now insist the only difference between an unborn child with rights and one without them is the mother’s desire, or not, to carry the pregnancy to term.
But even less contentious issues are now up for grabs, like mass rape. After Hamas terrorists filmed themselves raping and murdering Israeli women on Oct. 7, boasting about their savagery to a watching world, vast swaths of the America left still cannot bring themselves to condemn Hamas. The same progressive college students who insist that the mere presence of a conservative speaker on campus makes them “unsafe” are unable to condemn one of the worst instances of mass rape in modern history. Some even declare openly that they stand in solidarity with the Hamas rapists.
What is happening? Put bluntly, America is becoming pagan. SNIP>>>

Golly!

Or Billy Graham advising Trump.
I think you are both right
but then I do not think that the Book of Revelation is trapped in one time period
but is all time
including the last time
Just a few more drops...
Zechariah 12:3 niv
On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
I pray that this is correct!
You make Phil cry...
True, but later Nineveh....
they are somewhat related ...
I’m not sure who Phil is. When I did a search, it came up SDA Filipino.
I do not urge Christians to embrace modern heresies, follies, and ignorance. I do urge that Christians understand the modern age and learn how to proselytize to heretics and fools and the ignorant — and, most of all, to explain how modern physics can be properly seen as supporting belief in God and things supernatural.
yes
Nineveh lasted about 100 years then they fell again
the kink is always at our end of the hose
not God’s
I’d like to see the post-millennial dominionists’ response to the points of this essay.
No doubt, they’ll say “two steps back, three steps forward.” I can’t detect those forward steps in the 60+ years of my life.
No, their is salvation on the streets.
Nice thought.
But no scripture to support that belief.
Paul only saw dark days - and that was 2,000 years ago almost........
If you want to see the future go to the British Isles, especially Ireland. The land of St Patrick has returned to paganism. A 21st Century paganism, but pagan nonetheless.
Most younger people bear little resemblance to most older people (physically, culturally) in the US; many are trafficked replacements to pick up the labor pool slack.
I’m not sure they have the same views of religion as us; by most indications, they don’t.
“America was founded not just on certain ideals but on a certain kind of people, a predominantly Christian people, and it depends for its survival on their moral virtue, without which the entire experiment in self-government will unravel. As Christianity fades in America, so too will our system of government, our civil society, and all our rights and freedoms. Without a national culture shaped by the Christian faith, without a majority consensus in favor of traditional Christian morality, America as we know it will come to an end. Instead of free citizens in a republic, we will be slaves in a pagan empire.”
There are millions of moral Jews and Buddhists. 10’s of millions of them.
But this author states only Christians can save America. I reject that notion whole heartedly.
